Which MP was that re 'joke'?

Rigby46 Mon 10-Jul-17 17:19:27

Oh yes right like the average Tory constituency party would deselect for that?

What about the one who told that dreadful.joke on FB?

Absolutely , unacceptable she has to go immediately

whitewave Mon 10-Jul-17 17:14:41

I suppose she can be de-selected?

Rigby46 Mon 10-Jul-17 17:12:50

But she's not an employee of course so what should the party do?

Absolutely unacceptable - sacking would make her a martyr of the right. If she were an employee of mine, I'd send her on a course about acceptable language use and then make her write a reflective piece to be published in MSM and socisl media explaining why what she said was unacceptable and put her on a final written warning.

I remember the same word being used in some Tory election pamphlets years ago. I suspect nothing has really changed amongst a certain element

There is also another extremely unpleasant racist joke made by a Tory MP recently.

One wonders what else is said and not in the public arena

Tory MP Anne-Marie Morris used the phrase "N . In the woodpile" when giving a speech in a meeting in the House of Commons. There are calls for her to be sacked. This is a phrase that even my parents wouldn't have used. I am surprised anyone under 60 knows it. Does she use this phrase at home? She should be severely reprimanded IMHO. Sacked if it happens again .
